Police have seized a van and arrested a man on suspicion of drink-driving during a Christmas Day operation.

Staffordshire officers pulled over the vehicle in the early hours of this morning after checks revealed the vehicle had no MOT or tax.

The driver gave a positive roadside breath test and was taken into custody for questioning.

Once there, he reportedly gave a reading of 54 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, against the legal limit of 35.

A Staffordshire Police spokesman said: "Last night Staffordshire Specials were on duty into the early hours of Christmas Day. Unfortunately for the driver of this van had no insurance, no MOT, no tax and he also failed the roadside breath test.
